Arabic hadith text

وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ قَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ: وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُسْلًا فَسَتَرْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ وَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شَمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَمَسَحَهَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثَوْبًا فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ فَانْطَلق وَهُوَ ينفض يَدَيْهِ. وَلَفظه للْبُخَارِيّ

Translation

Ibn ʿAbbās reported that Maymūna said: ‘I prepared water for the Prophet’s ritual bath and screened him with a cloth. He poured water over his hands and washed them. Then he poured water from his right hand over his left, washed his private parts, struck his hand against the ground and wiped it, then washed it. He rinsed his mouth and nose, washed his face and forearms, poured water over his head and over his body, then moved aside and washed his feet. I handed him a cloth, but he did not take it; he left shaking the water from his hands.’ The wording is al-Bukhārī’s.
